In the past New Zealand has had a sheep to people ratio of 16:1, but recently that ratio has changed. New Zealand now has a population of about 4.1 million people to about 45 million sheep.
In New Zealand, sheep outnumber humans 16 to 1.
Sheep
Let's denote the number of white sheep as W and the number of black sheep as B. We are given that 2 out of 5 sheep are white, so W = 2/5(W + B). We are also told that there are 8 more black sheep than white sheep, so B = W + 8. By substituting the second equation into the first equation, we can solve for the total number of sheep in the flock.

The estimated brush tail (Australian) possum population in New Zealand is about 70,000,000. The people population of New Zealand is 4,291,900 in 2008. This gives a possum to person ration of about 16 to 1. The ratio of sheep to people in New Zealand has also been large for many years. It reached a peak in the years from the 1950s to the early 1980s.In 1950 the ratio was 18 sheep for every person in New Zealand, and from then until 1986 it varied between 18 and 22 sheep per person. It was 16 sheep per person in 1991. The sheep to person ratio has since dropped to 8 sheep per person for 2008. This is due to many farmers changing to more lucrative production, with the exact change depending on the region. Some major changes have been to beef, wine grape growing and dairy. New Zealand now has twice as many possums as sheep.
The number is unknown.
